The Portland Trail Blazers were one of the biggest storylines in the NBA offseason. This is because of Damian Lillard and his trade possibilities. It turns out that the All-Star point guard did not request a trade out of town but that does not mean that the storyline is over.
There is a chance that Lillard requests a trade over the course of the season. If he does, Portland might not have a choice but to move him and take advantage of a large return.
If Lillard does not request a trade, then this leaves CJ McCollum as a potential all-star piece that could be moved right away. This is something that would benefit the next team while Portland would be able to get a huge return.
McCollum is an all-star caliber guard that can take over on the offensive end of the floor. This is something that will benefit a team right away, especially if they are looking for that impact performer along the perimeter.
